五大唱片

英國演員、劇作家、流行音樂作曲家諾維．考沃爵士的作品以結合機智幽默與流行的時髦風格深受喜愛。他出生於英國一個最普通的中產階級家庭，祖父是英國水晶宮的管風琴家，父親是個喜歡唱歌的二流鋼琴調音師，家中的音樂氣息讓諾維．考沃從小就接受音樂的薰陶。但是1910年，母親注意到《每日鏡報》上甄選童星的消息後，十一歲的諾維．考沃站上舞台，從此展開超過一甲子的舞台、電影表演與導演生涯。1943年，諾維．考沃以電影《效忠祖國》得到奧斯卡終身成就獎，1969年被授予爵位。

除了舞台劇與電影劇本，諾維‧考沃也寫過上百首歌曲與十多部劇場音樂、小歌劇，還創作詩歌、短篇小說...許多劇作不只在1960年代到1970年代之間大受歡迎，至今依然在全球各大劇院上演不輟並且影響了流行文化。

這一套四張的專輯儘量以編年來安排軌序，收錄了從1925年八月以來，諾維‧考沃在HMV長達二十五年的錄音，其中高達九成的曲子是諾維‧考沃本人的作品。如果母帶庫裡有同樣的歌曲，則以諾維．考沃親自演唱的版本為首選版本。除此以外，再加上柯爾．波特、傑若米．克恩等人的作品。
